Edinburgh based with 5+ years of animal care experience
Experience overview
Hello fellow pet and animal lovers!! I’m 28 and I live in Shandon in Edinburgh. I work at SRUC as an animal care technician, where I teach students studying animal care. I show them animal husbandry and handling of a variety of animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, reptiles, fish and livestock. I'm very experienced working with a range of different animals and I've been working there for 3 years. I also graduated in 2021 with an MSc Applied Animal Behaviour and Welfare degree. I’ve also previously worked for the SSPCA and an animal keeper at Five Sisters Zoo. I can help take care of your pet while you are away and you can relax knowing they are well taken care of and get plenty of attention that meets their individual needs whilst you are away! I also have a wide range of experience with many different animals, and I'm able to administer medication due to the nature of my job. I would love you chat with you prior to sitting to talk about your pet and what their needs are, whether they love cuddles and attention, love to play, or simply love to left alone! I've come to pawshake as I love all animals and want to provide owners with reassurance and peace of mind that their pet is in safe hands with me.
